Thank You WSO

Just wanted to say in a few quick sentences how thankful I am for this forum.

Coming out of UG I had relatively no idea what finance even was and this site (along with deep self reflection) was extremely helpful and made me realize IB was what I wanted to pursue.

It was an absolute grind coming from a non target with a GPA below a 3.0, but this site and the mentors on it were crucial in helping me 1) land my first role at a LMM M&A shop and 2) lateral to an industry focused boutique on the West Coast.

Any other fellow grinders/monkeys keep pushing, improve on both your strengths/weaknesses, really think WHY you want to do whatever it is that you're gunning for and if you're actually cut out for it.

Thanks Monkeys!



 

That’s awesome dude. Great job. This site, for all the shit on here, is a great resource. Helped me figure out what finance was and what IB was and then helped me figure out I wanted to do real estate instead.
